GM, folks! Just putting this out there. I was thinking, while we have a few NIPs and torrent-based tools on Nostr, there are some quick wins to be had by tapping into the torrent ecosystem.
With so many people building HTTP views, bridge APIs to Nostr WebSockets, storage APIs (e.g., Blossom), and streaming tools... FFS nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhkcmmrdd3x77pwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxnhwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mf0qydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnhv4ehgetjde38gcewvdhk6tc4rdlnm is even exposing a FUSE interface that can be mounted with nak (just for laughs) to give you Nostr as a filesystem abstraction. So why aren't we leveraging WebTorrent and IPFS to make our lives easier?
I’m not saying we should abandon what we have. Just that we could use what’s already out there pragmatically.
For example, I keep hearing about Negentropy, which is great and all, but… Why can't your client or relay just join the swarm and sync all the notes and Blossom blobs associated with my pubkey? Maybe we could even expose all of this over IPFS and boom, you’ve got "Negentropy" and a cool alternative to njump.me. It doesn’t get much more bandwidth-efficient and P2P than that.

> we whipped up a bittorrent swarm that has 200TB of proven storage in like a month by cobbling together everyone's random hard drives. storing 200TB on s3 would cost at least $4.5k per month and would cost $10,000 to download it one time.
